That is already done at a population level, and when I was in primary care I would get notifications about patients whose A1c was overdue.

- gleb 10y agoSome hospitals do it, some don't. My wild guess - at best 50% of patients get it. And maybe 25% of those get it interpreted as well as you would for your family.
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoI've had exactly one of these tests, and that was only because the insurance I had required all employees to get a battery of blood tests drawn (or pay more each month for insurance). They planned on requiring this yearly, with plans to force folks to start meeting the metrics or pay more for insurance. I'm not sure how this panned out for them. Anyhow, if it wasn't for this, I would have never had such a test. I'm in my late 30's. My father was diabetic at my age, actually, and it runs in the family. I'm a prime candidate for preventive measures, but still nothing. Now, I understand that I go to the doctor rarely but at any one of these I could have been asked about a physical and stuff like that.
